Born in Buenos Aires and based in Los Angeles since the early 2000s, Analia Saban (*1980) works across and between artistic mediums, consistently turning viewers’ expectations of what constitutes a painting or sculpture on its head. In the process, Saban’s works constitute inventive new hybrid forms that complicate these traditional categories and rewrite their definitions, while delving simultaneously into the histories of art, materials and technology.

The roots of Saban’s practice can be traced to one of her earliest series, in which she dismantled dozens of painted canvases, unweaving their surfaces thread by thread, then reshaping them into objects such as a knitted scarf and a massive, tightly-wound sphere entitled The Painting Ball (2005)—new forms that call into question the value of works of art once they are reduced to their basic components. Traditionally paintings are created using brushstrokes that are applied one after the other to gradually construct an image. In Saban’s hands, however, brushstrokes might be created individually—as miniature, three-dimensional sculptures—and then affixed to canvas with glue or tape; or they may be painted onto canvas, but then burnt away with an industrial laser-cutter in calculated patterns, generating imagery via a subtractive, rather than an additive, process.

As complex as her approach may be, the imagery she employs often relates to everyday domestic objects and architectures. Using a casting technique she developed in 2011, Saban created three-dimensional sculptures of towels, trash bags and bed sheets out of flexible acrylic paint, which she then draped over canvases in a performative, literal rendition of “acrylic on canvas.” In other series, the artist affixes slabs of stone, glass and concrete to linen supports, recalling the shape of sinks and the foundations of houses. The simplicity of these references belies the intricate constellation of issues that Saban offers her viewers. One must consider, for example, why a cast dishtowel—stripped of its use-value when made of paint—attains a different, ineffable value as a work of art once placed in an artistic context.

Saban’s sculptural work has likewise involved pushing materials far beyond their intended purposes. She has reupholstered old chairs and sofas with yards of linen canvas, whose loose ends extend onto stretcher bars mounted to the wall mimicking blank canvases. Her Draped Marble and Draped Concrete series (2014–16) treat hard slabs of stone like flowing fabric, cracking and bending them to drape gracefully over sawhorse-like structures and, in turn, invoking the long histories of both stone sculpture and painted drapery.

In 2016 the artist acquired a loom, interested originally in its distinct form rather than its function. Yet Saban soon set to work reimagining once more how paintings are made: rather than applying paint to canvas, she creates swollen “threads” of dried acrylic paint that are methodically woven together with linen to produce works in which paint and canvas are literally entwined. Certain of her woven canvases are purely abstract compositions, engaging with the history of minimalist painting; while others suggest doorways and windows, or even digital gradient imaging functions native to Photoshop. Saban’s discovery that the history of weaving and computer technology are inextricably linked has led to increasingly complex tapestries and ink-and-paper works based on the designs of historical circuit boards; and actual circuit boards themselves have become recent material for Saban’s ever-evolving practice, which continues to tackle fundamental questions about art and its meaning within contemporary society.

Save As
February 25–April 10, 2021
Berlin

Save As presents Analia Saban's remarkable woven canvases and Pleated Ink works in Germany for the first time, along with other new paintings and sculptures. As suggested in the title, which borrows from the computer function to “save as” one digital format or another, the artist's hybrid objects move between states of being, shifting in meaning as they do. Saban’s works point to the pervasiveness today of technological processes, and the increasingly porous lines between digital and analogue thinking, the physical and virtual worlds, and facts and fabrications.

Pigmente
July 7–August 26, 2017
Berlin

A recent core interest for Analia Saban has been an investigation into the history of paint formulas and how they have shaped art history. She uncovers at an almost microscopic level the entwined histories of artists and their mediums. In these new works the use of pigment makes reference to historical styles and methods of painting, as well as borrowing from modern technologies. Pigmente, her fifth solo exhibition at the gallery, will run concurrently with Folds and Faults, a solo show at the Los Angeles gallery.

Folds and Faults
June 28–August 19, 2017
Los Angeles

This exhibition of new work by Analia Saban extends the artist’s experimental, witty, and profound exploration into the ways in which artworks both enter into being and enter into dialogue with the world they inhabit. Across four recent series, the artist weaves together—literally, at times—medium and content, folding art and architectural references in with everyday concerns that range from lighthearted investigations to meditations on mortality.

Interiors
February 27–March 28, 2015
London

Analia Saban has gained renown for work that playfully carves open the conventions of photography, painting and sculpture. Interiors, her third exhibition with Sprüth Magers and her first in the London gallery, evokes an array of ideas about how genre and media affect our perception of different artworks, and vice versa. Using the constituent parts of her media as her very subject matter, Saban constructs a dialogue between the conventions that delineate various genres and the manifestation of these characteristics in the anatomy, or "interior," of individual artworks.

Bathroom Sink, Etc.
January 25–February 23, 2013
Berlin

Analia Saban subjects her works to deconstructive processes, pulling apart their layers and reassembling them in unconventional ways, revealing how art exists as both a physical and social construction. Continuing this exploration, the works on view in her third exhibition with Sprüth Magers, and her first at the Berlin gallery, reflect her latest lines of inquiry, including linkages between art and domestic space, as well as the potential for painting to evoke at once mundane and transcendent qualities.
